COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH NETWORK- LOS ANGELES

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 本研究的主要目标是研究社区、家庭和个人层面的影响如何与生物学影响相互作用并导致妊娠结果的健康差异。 该研究将社会、行为和生物医学方法融入到一项连贯的社区相关研究中。 CCHN 的总体目标是对孕产妇健康和儿童发展差异的原因获得新的见解。这项多中心研究的总体目标是检查与“母体稳态负荷”相关的因素。母亲的非稳态负荷是指社会心理和环境压力源对身体造成的“磨损”。 该研究的假设是，这种“磨损”可能会导致不良的怀孕和儿童健康结果。具体目标是： (1) 确定哪种压力源对母婴结局影响最大， (2) 探讨这种“磨损”与随后出生/儿童健康结果的关系。 我们将在所有登记的参与者及其配偶/伴侣登记参加研究后两年对其进行跟踪。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The principal goal of this study is to examine how community, family, and individual level influences interact with biological influences and result in health disparities in pregnancy outcomes. The research blends social, behavioral, and biomedical approaches into a coherent community-linked study. The overall goal of the CCHN is to gain new insights into the reasons for the disparities in maternal health and child development. The overall goal of this multi-site study is to examine the factors associated with "maternal allostatic load." Maternal allostatic load is a term for the "wear and tear" on the body from psychosocial and environmental stressors. The hypothesis of the study is that this kind of "wear and tear" may play a role in poor pregnancy and child health outcomes. The specific aims are to: (1) determine what kinds of stressors have the most affect on maternal-child outcomes, (2) explore the relationship of this "wear and tear" on subsequent birth/child health outcomes. We will follow all enrolled participants and their spouses/partners for two years after they enroll in the study.
